The Caramel Jar [review, giveaway]

Nicole is a full-time caramel maker, devoted to hand-crafting the yummy treats you will find at "The Caramel Jar". They are perfect for wedding favors, gifts, and of course to satisfy your own sweet tooth. I like that she uses eco-friendly candy wrappers as well as reusable mason jars for packaging these goodies. Green is always a plus. The Caramel Jar has quite the fantastic reputation and I am happy to finally be sharing a little about them with you.

I was sent a sampler to try out The Caramel Jar's best seller- their Fleur de Sel caramels. Take a look at the cute unbleached parchment paper wrapping!

Like all of The Caramel Jar caramels, these were created fresh and shipped promptly. Nicole recommends enjoying these within 7 days of receiving them, but I don't think anyone lasts that long. Personally, mine were gone within the same day (...er, half an hour). The organic Madagascar vanilla and Fleur de Sel salt are an extremely tasty combination. I much prefer chewy caramels over those boring hard ones you find at your local grocery store wrapped in gold tin- they are just so much more savory, and these have got to be the most delectable I have tasted.

There is something special about handmade delights, and Nicole has really got her mixture down wonderfully. These are indeed melt-in-your-mouth goodness, not sickly sweet; the brown sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. I found myself taking teeny, gooey bites to make sure I savor every last piece. I know I will definitely be wanting to order some more!
